FYI: the requirements for the "North Cape" (Duke of York) campaign are way more specific/harder than those for the Graf Spee of 2016.

The requirements for the Graf Spee were incremental amounts of BXP and XP after modifiers, to be done in PvP or PvE, with any ship that was T5+.

[WolfGewehr]

Great. Can't wait to see the requirements for the New Year Raid campaign.

[ColonelPete]

You have at least 4 days for each Part.

Should be enough time to do it.

[Tyrendian89]

harder than Spee? Yes, definitely, but that really isnt saying much... this still seems very easy to me, if not quite as trivial as the Spee was

[AkosJaccik]

Ouch. And all this in the holidays. I guess I won't even bother. I get that they are trying to go down in a thematic way, which is not a bad idea in itself, but... nah.

If I'll have too much trouble falling asleep at nights over this, then I'll just slap a permacamo on the KGV, done deal. But frankly, I'd not test my sanity even for something more interesting in such a way. 

It seems doable, sure, but I don't feel like running around chasing german BBs for two weeks and such.

[Jethro_Grey]

It seems WG mission designers don't know that holidays are that time of year where most people try to relax.

Agreed, the way the event is locked behind a time gate and how the tasks are structured makes it unappealing, especially since parallel to the campaign there's ranked and holidays.

I can easily do the early stages in an Atlanta, but then it becomes a tedious grind. Don't think I'll bother too hard.

The ones needing DoY is probably for those who bought DoY from the shop. Was the same thing with Hood.

[Ryouzanpakku]

Muahaha... now I feel stupid for whining about how crappy DOY is.... as these missions are structured in the way which absolutely annihilates fun and creates frustration.

 

I am sooo not gonna play this at all.

No, thats the missions, the ones needing DoY is just there for those who dont want to grind it and buy it directly from the shop. Was the same thing with Hood.

But the Hood mission were not to get the HOOD. The Hood mission were mission that you could do and if you had the Hood you had EXTRA mission.

Hood was never a winable ship

Look at the Graf Spee mission @MrFingers posted there was no EXTRE mission if you had bought the Ship

I know, im just trying to explain that missions posted here probably is the current ones and if you buy DoY you will get access to some extra missions that reward more stars.

[WolfGewehr]

Well, here some sort of source for OP:

 

http://wiki.wargaming.net/en/Ship:Battle_of_the_North_Cape

 

 

[Altsak]

These missions must have been done by WG-EU as they promote selfish yolo-tactics.

 

[ollonborre]

Only the 4th sets of mission seems to be annoying  (medal dependant for the larger amount of pins) but the rest are not that time consuming or difficult. 

[Exocet6951]

I don't mind the missions being difficult.
It is a premium T7 BB after all.

 

That beind said, I'm never pleased with seeing missions reserved for ships of a certain nation. 
I understand that they're going with a theme, but locking people who don't have those ships out of a third of those missions is frustrating. This spoken as someone who has no issue abusing his Fiji.
The ones where you have to shoot at German ships aren't too bad considering that there are minimum 2 German BBs per side in every match at all time, but on principle, I don't like them too much.


It bears repeating though, I don't mind the difficulty of the missions.

Here's the blurb from the briefing article:

 

Quote

If a player buys Duke of York in the premium shop and then receives the campaign reward, they will be compensated with 14,700,000 credits.

If a player receives Duke of York for completing the campaign and then buys the Duke of York bundle in the Premium shop, they will be compensated with 9,800 doubloons.

 

So you're in the wrong, and as @MrFingers and @WolfGewehr wrote those missions are indeed from the DoY campaign.

well its not that bad then.. you dont have to do them all. You can repeat them. and remember with Prem account you can have 3 missions open.

 

Look all have 2 star missions to hit BBs with CA/CL guns for example hitting can be done quit Quickly or being first to spot 10 BB (DD or CV and you are made)

do 50K damage to a BBs in a single battle....  these are all very dooble

At least its only the 1 star  missions that are nation specific (2star in set 5)

Indeed and that can be seen if you post link to information... AS @WolfGewehr did. 

[TomaszuJerzy]

Missions may be harder but still are extremely easy. The biggest flaw is that they releasing those missions too slow. I'd rather have them available all at once and if they want to sell more dukes just don't award them till last week. 

[Hugh_Ruka]

Thanks WG, no way I can do mission 4, so I won't even bother .... the rest is manageable with DDs and the Atlanta/Fiji that I have ... I wonder how CV mains feel about the selection ...

[eliastion]

Well, the level of nation-specific content in this campaign is staggering... and it's nation-specific on both sides, even (be in a ship of specific nation and type and do something to enemy ships of specific nation and type). This is ridiculous... ARP Nachi mission was borderline sensible compared to this sh*t.

[Acetessigester]

2017 year of the CV is going to end up with a garbage BB with strong AA.

gg, WG. gg.

[Capra76]

The first 4 weeks look pretty straightforward, but then week 5:

3* task: 1 Dev Strike in DoY

is absolutely  brutal.

 

Bear in mind that this is the gateway to the NYR campaign and that both end on the same day, that leaves you with 7 days to do both the above AND the NYR campaign.

 

How would you do it if you don't already have HMS Gallant?  Suicide in with something like Emerald for 11 torp hits and repeat that 4 or 5 times?  Try to grind out 225,000 XP loaded up with flags and premium time? 

 

 

Edit:

 

I may be wrong, is this the B.o.N.C mission or the NYR one?

 

 

Edit 2: 

 

I'm not wrong, this is the BONC mission

 

So this year's Christmas special is spend £30 on a garbage premium to access the NYR mission or go play Tetris instead.
